Three Must-Visit Photography Spots in Moscow!

1️⃣ Москва, Большой Москворецкий мост
First up is the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge behind Red Square. I've shared this spot many times before because it's incredibly photogenic! From here, you can capture the CBD, the Kremlin's red walls, and the Moscow River all in one frame. I recommend bringing a telephoto lens to compress the sense of space. Whether you're shooting landscapes or portraits, this spot is fantastic.

2️⃣ Российский государственный архив новейшей истории
The road at the bottom of the stairs by the Moscow River offers a unique angle to photograph St. Basil's Cathedral. What's special about this spot is the traffic light nearby, which adds an interesting element to the composition. This is a must-visit location for me when I take portrait bookings in Moscow, as it beautifully blends the scenery with the subject.

3️⃣ Москва, Патриарший мост
After visiting the first two spots, walk along the Moscow River to the bridge in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. From here, you can capture a panoramic view of the entire Kremlin. This spot is perfect for wide-angle shots.
